RIP Alan Ball
It is with a great sadness that I heard of the death of former england world cup winner Alan Ball.
I remember Ball's first game as Manager of Manchester City, Oasis's Liam and Noel came on to the centre spot to thank the new manager. To be fair he wasn't that successful overall seeing City relegated to the first division at the end of his first full season.
None the less to die of a heart attack at only 61 is somewhat of a shock. The bigger shock was when only minutes after me hearing the news, I wondered over to Wikipedia to check his age for this blog, and found already someone had updated the date of death. The speed of these things still astounds me.
